Sure, if you want to pay $2K for a slick-looking machine that has a
soldered-in battery, and soldered-down, non-upgradable RAM.

OTOH, you can buy a good performance Intel or AMD Windows laptop for about
$400, if you catch a good sale. Get two of them (one spare), and use the
other $1200 in savings to buy about 40 extra batteries, for those 200-hour
trans-lunar flights.
